Yesterday i found out that Swetha's X account "@DomainNameGear" got suspended.
Today I also found out that her NamePros account (@DNGear) has been deleted.
Moderator's comment: DNGear's NamePros account was closed at request and has been re-opened at request.

This really doesn’t look good—it resembles those crypto rug pulls where, once the scam is complete, all associated accounts are deleted.

Yesterday, one of my posts went viral, reaching 17k views, after I uploaded a screenshot to my X account @jackdomainer showing that Swetha's X account had been suspended. It was the subject of the day in the domain industry.

Some people were jumping to conclusions—some suggested she was doing outbound marketing, others said it might be due to a failure to verify her identity. But what I personally believe is that her suspension is likely related to the many links she regularly shared promoting the .xyz TLD and registry. She consistently highlighted new businesses or projects that chose a .xyz domain, many of which were tied to NFTs, Web3, and crypto. Some of those projects eventually turned out to be scams.

If you're promoting scams on X—knowingly or not—there’s a chance you’ll get flagged as being complicit, especially if it looks like you're giving them visibility or benefiting from them. Additionally, she frequently shared her domain sales, which many in the domain industry viewed not as legitimate sales, but more as publicity stunts for the .xyz TLD. This fueled hype among domainers, leading many to:
  1. Register .xyz domains in bulk
  2. Buy "premium" .xyz domains—mostly one-word names—at exaggerated prices, either from the aftermarket or directly from Swetha, hoping to resell them at similarly high prices as she allegedly did.
Could it be possible that a government entity is conducting an investigation for fraud, money laundering, or tax evasion, and "Swetha" is deleting evidence?
It wouldn’t be the first time that something or someone associated with the .xyz TLD has been involved in fraudulent activities. In fact, they were already fined in a $1.5 million lawsuit that was settled, and they’ve also been sued by Facebook and other companies. You can search on Google for terms like "ITmedia," "Cyber2media," and "xyz FTC" for more information.


Drop your thoughts in the comments—what do you think about these recent events?

Maybe a small chance.

Twitter is full of scammers, especially in the crypto field. It's rare that anything happens to them.

The "Hawk Tuah" girl still has an account, despite being behind one of the most blatant rug pulls in recent history.

At this point, no one knows what actually happened.

It's all speculation, including comments like your - "Today, the domain industry got a little less fraudulent."

top spreading rumors Jack. Everything you write is conjecture without information.

This was done at her own request.
The account is closed, that is the subject, doesnt matter if she asked for it or not.
And in the account status says "account closed (requested)"
It can be requested by her or requested by a legal authority.
Anyways as i said who requested is not the issue, but the fact the account is closed, there is something to hide that requires the account to be closed? IDK but look strange.

Her Namepros account is closed, that is not a rumor is a fact.
Her X account is suspended, also a fact and not a rumor

Speculation in this case sounds like defamation

your post could have stopped at these two lines:
Yesterday i found out that Swetha's X account "@DomainNameGear" got suspended.
Today I also found out that her NamePros account (@DNGear) has been deleted.
all the rest is conspiracy theories with no evidence.

It happens all the time. For example with the MapleDots account here on NamePros, and a lot of others.

Jack you know full well what I'm referencing.

Here's an example of one of your statements, which you bolded. Is your statement fact or rumor?

Could it be possible that a government entity is conducting an investigation for fraud, money laundering, or tax evasion, and "Swetha" is deleting evidence?

Exactly. The rest are rumors based off of absolutely no evidence whatsoever.

many of the sales were claimed to have happened via afternic. So it was either legit sales or xyz were the buyers with or without swethas knowing unless they themselves were swethas. I hope it was legit.

She closed her namepros account some time ago , not recently.
It’s not difficult to guess why, probably tired of people.

Her X account is probably closed due to spam.
Still, i’m not understanding what’s this mess about.

Leave her alone

If I'm not mistaken she closed her account at NP quite a few months ago due to being fed up getting trolled. Don't remember the details though.
